Improv in Education

ComedySportz offers your students an opportunity to learn improv by working with the most experienced player/teachers around.We teach hundreds of workshops to people of all ages each year, including High School and Middle School Leagues, and all of our teachers are professional players.

ComedySportz can develop a workshop to fit into your curriculum, or you can turn us loose to teach the basics of improvisation, including:

• Listening and acceptance
  
• Narrative
• Giving up control and sharing the stage
• Physical space
• Character endowment
• Status
• Scene work
• ComedySportz games

We lead with energy, support and positive feedback:

• The team supports each other
• We celebrate mistakes and fix them together, rather than judging them
• We give everyone a chance to shine
• We allow everyone to play in a safe, nurturing environment
• We Listen, Trust, Commit, Risk, Accept, Share, Enjoy
• We say “Yes”
